My Bloody Valentine (Review)

Photobucket
I have not watched the original, so I can only tell my thoughts based on this one. I have heard about My Bloody Valentine for along time, so when I seen the teaser poster for this one I started reading up on the 1981 movie. Reading about that one and seeing a trailer to this one made me think that My Bloody Valentine 2009 was going to be good.
The first ten minutes had me. I always like it when a movie has a very high body count right off the bat, and this movie has that for sure. The body count is pretty high in this, with about fifty over all kill, with about half on screen and half off screen. I like it alot more when we get alot of on screen kills, and this movie did not let me down.
The story was good, and I liked the back story alot. I can't really say anything bad about the story at all, except that its jumps time alot. Not like Pulp Fiction jumps time, but in the way that it jumps so many years does some stuff then jumps more years. If they make a part two I hope they don't jump as many times.
The acting ain't that bad either, and I really liked the way the manic miner played out on screen. Betsy Rue was pretty damn brave, the whole time she was in this movie she was naked, and for you horn dogs out there thats all the nudity you get in this one. I have not seen Jensen Ackles in anything before, but I liked what he did in this.
Over all My Bloody Valentine is a very enjoyable movie, and not watching it in 3D did not hurt it any. We get some very nice kills, with a high body count. Good story, and not to bad of acting. Horror fans should buy it, everyone else rent it. I give My Bloody Valentine a 7 out of 10.

The Grudge 3 (Review)

Photobucket
I really liked the other two American Grudge movies, so when I heard about this one I wanted to see it pretty bad. Finding out that it was Stright-to-DVD did not hurt that want at all, finding out it was going to be the first of the American Grudge movies to be rated R made me want to see it more. Well I got a copy of the movie a few days ago and watched it last nite. First off I have to say that I really don't see why this one got the R rating. We get a really quick shot of a naked girl getting pulled into a bathtub, most of the kills are off screen, and when we get the see the aftermath its not that bad.
Am I alone with wanting to see more on screen kills? We do get eight real time kills, and three flashback kills, so the kill count ain't that bad at eleven, but only haveing two kills that stick out as cool does hurt it just a little. The two kills I liked best seemed to be liked best by the other people that was watching it with me too. If they spent more time filming good stong kills, and not bad acting and weak story then this one would be right up there with the other two for me. The thing is with that is the other two movies was PG-13 and had better kills than the R rated movie, and thats just sad.
The story was so-so and picked up where part 2 left off, it just seemed to be missing something, and in some parts got really boring. The one thing that hurt this movie more than anything for me has that I really did not care for any of the characters, but the ghosts Toshio and Kayako. They added a few things to the Grudge history that I like, but can't talk about here cause I don't want to spoil anything for anyone.
If you liked any of the other Grudge movies then pick this one up only if your a die hard horror fan, everyone else just rent it. I give The Grudge 3 a 4.5 out of 10.

TNA Wrestling: Swag Bucks


Search & Win


I get Swag Bucks if anyone signs up from this link. It would awesome if they had a Horror: Swag Bucks, but TNA is the horror of the wrestling world so its pretty close. They had a few other banners, but I have always been a big fan of Cactus Jack so I picked this one. Bang Bang!
